Fort Worth Independent School District’s Jacquet Middle School is receiving much-needed updates and renovations to create a safe, flexible campus while increasing the facility’s capacity. The 110,000 s.f. renovation includes connecting two additions from 1988 and 2008 and adding office administration space to create a secured entry.
Through the renovation, the school gained space for science labs on the second floor and a media center was created in the old shop/art lab. A 30,000 s.f. addition creates a performance arts space and a math addition. A multi-purpose dining area has been created to support community events and connect to the community’s history while looking forward to the future.
Color differentiation was used throughout the environmental graphics to help improve wayfinding and create a sense of community throughout the spaces. Changes in color in the exterior and interior create visual movement throughout the spaces and horizontal sunshades replaced operable windows to give the facility more natural light than before.
While the district sought upgrades to meet their growing education system, they also needed to update their security to create a safer environment for students and staff.
The district will receieve a new secured entry, a multi-purpose dining area, and several classroom additions to prepare for growth for the future.

Built in 1924, South Side Elementary is the oldest elementary facility in the Champaign School District. The original facility was designed during a time when children would walk to and from school, and aside from technological upgrades, few changes had been made to modernize the building since its original construction.
The new ALAH High School project will be a drastic change for the growing district. With an all new High School building, the district will be able to expand and plan for the future. The space will have numerous flexible collaboration zones where students can work in groups or collaborate with other classrooms. Flexible furniture will be throughout the space, allowing for each classroom to have the capability to do all kinds of learning, whether that be individual or group projects.
After completing a community engagement process and passing a referendum, this district’s iconic, historic building received much needed upgrades. This high-achieving district now features facilities that are up to par with their high-quality academic, fine arts and athletic performance standards.
